If the last three comments are indicative of the best the theory of “everything made itself” has to offer, Bill Nye may be on to something about creation not being appropriate for children.

If billions (even millions) of years are true, at present rates, the oceans should be choked with mud, the salt in the seas would kill everything in it, the Great Barrier Reef would be larger than the world, oil and gas deposits would have lost their pressure and the moon’s orbit should have already decayed. Carbon 14 has been detected in diamonds and so-called ancient coal deposits where it is not supposed to be found. Pine pollen has been found in every layer of the Grand Canyon.

Supposed 68 million year old dinosaur bones have been found to have red blood cells still in them. Stalactites and stalagmites have been shown to form quickly under the right conditions. Crude oil is being manufactured by thermal depolymerization in Missouri from turkey offal in a matter of days.

600 feet of layered sedimentary rock was built up in months after the Mt. St Helens May 18, 1980 eruption. Real precious opal can be formed in less than a year. Coal can be formed from simple heating of wood in a matter of months.

Ice core sampling is subject to the same presuppositional thinking. In 1942 war planes crash landed on the frozen Greenland ice. In 1980 they were found 250 ft. below the surface. By this chronometer, the 10,000 ft. ice core brought up by the European Greenland Ice-core Project (GRIP) in Greenland in 1990–1992 would represent only 2000 years of accumulation.

“Contrary to what most scientists write, the fossil record does not support the Darwinian theory of evolution” Ronald R. West, PhD (paleoecology and geology) (Assistant Professor of Paleobiology, Kansas State University)

All plants & animals that exist today are represented in the fossil record. This is significant because it tells us that change is not a universal law. And, all major groups appear suddenly without ancestral forms.

“Not only do characteristic and distinctive remains of phyla appear suddenly, without known ancestors, but several classes of phylum, orders of a class, and so on, commonly appear at approximately the same time, without known intermediates.” James W. Valentine and Cathryn A. Campbell, “Genetic Regulation and the Fossil Record,” in American Scientist.

It is not the facts that speak against the Biblical account of a recent creation, but the bias of a culture that desires, at all costs, to eliminate God from their memory. Evolution cannot survive the scrutiny of the critical mind as it lacks integrity, demands too much faith and gives nothing in return.

You can’t teach it as fact because it’s not a fact, it’s a myth. The fossil record does NOT support creationism and anyone that knew anything about how the fossils are distributed would see that. The “look around you” is nothing more than an argument from ignorance logical fallacy. All the evidence that’s ever been found tells us that creationism is impossible.

There is no evidence of a god-like being, no evidence for creationism, and no evidence of design (outside of evolution) in nature…none. Not one person has every produced one bit of substantial evidence for any of this because it’s all made up. I’m shock that these people are not looking for evidence for Harry Potter because they apparently believe any story they read.

Thu, 13 Sep 2012 14:21:34 +0000http://www.liberty.edu/champion/?p=15027#comment-16585No real scientist would make a distinction between historical and observational science. Just hinting that there may be such a dichotomy is a read flag for any real student or academician. What of quantum mechanics, or the higher level theoretical maths? Are these observed? Are they historical?
How about aritic ice core samples? For a very long time the article ice has melted and refrozen every year. Some artic ice cores have such annual layers going back 250k years. Is that historical or observational science. Chemical analysis of the layers provides clues about the earth’s environment a quarter of a million years ago, but the observations are being done in real time.
I realize that evidence won’t sway you lot. There’s probably a YEC “theory” about Noah caused the artic ice to thaw and refreeze in seemingly annual layers.

Collectively, Bible believers are so “blind”, that their approach to Genesis is a joke. Instead of seeking the truth, they continue to support the current lies and foolishness of Creationism. Genesis does not have any “Creation accounts”. When you keep telling a person that their car is running out of gas, and they refuse to look at the fuel gauge and go to the gas station, you begin to wonder how “dumb” they are.

Perhaps they are just like the Jews, who value tradition over the truth of scripture.

Is it strange that Atheists want the cram their false beliefs down everyone else’s throats, without allowing a (valid) opposing view?
